The Girl Child Should Fly

The Girl Child Should Fly

“my wife” “Beautiful girl” All this a girl child hears from men old as her father even before she starts to walk. At age seven, she is carried on her uncle's lap to reply to his hello. She walks into a shop with her mother, and men comment, “ such a beautiful girl.”
Living a Stress Free Life in 2021. Is it possible?

Living a Stress Free Life in 2021. Is it possible?

Living a stress free life in 2021 is on everyone's wishlist right now. I mean, I crave it. I hate having to eat only crackers the whole day because I'm too stressed from work to cook. I hate having to see my mom on some days because she is too stressed to chit chat. So yeah, I haven't seen anyone who likes stress, or enjoys been stressed. I've seen some of my friends who have been so bitchy and unapproachable because of stress. Some are disgusted with their work, not because it's too hot to handle, but because their clients are embodied with stress; they carry stress like a fragrance to choke anyone who attends to them.

The Angry Tears I Shed

Dear You, I write this letter in angry tears...in fact, this lemon top of mine is been scarred with dry wasted tears even as I write this. I write this to hide it in my drawer but I'm hoping it gets to you. Wishing that my tears would embrace yours. Praying that these angry tears would stop flowing, but I can't control it. So just for today, I'm letting it flow. Those piercing words you've probably heard before, I heard again last night, and its echoes replaying in my tiny little head brought these uncontrolable angry tears. The voice of rejection. The voice of selfishness That same voice that tells me to my face that I was taken for granted. I experienced.
